At this time, the position of this side panel 301a is fixed. At this time, the user's pants are adhered by the adhesive layer on the abutting bottom plate 402e, so that the side panel 301a is rotated in the opposite direction to take off the pants.

[0072] The two states of the adjusting wheel 302a (abutting against the pants on the side or against the pants on the end side) enable the adjusting wheel 302a to be transformed into abutting against the pants on the end side and grab the pants when going to the toilet or other actions are required. When only the retractable seat cushion needs to be extended but the pants do not need to be held, the sides of the two adjusting wheels 302a abut against the pants, and the abutting bottom plate 402e on the end side of the adjusting wheel 302a will not be used to grab the pants, making the entire device more user-friendly.
